Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run DeciLM 6B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

DeciLM 6B on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 463k 123.9-147.7 t/s ~2.6-3.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 507k 247.8-295.3 t/s ~5.1-6.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 526k 442.5-527.4 t/s ~9.1-10.9 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run DeciLM 6B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~442.5-527.4 tok/s and fits up to 526k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~9.1-10.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 526k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
